Category: Raving Socialist Moron

If a Socialist raves in the woods, but there’s no one around to hear it, should the forest creatures still seek to dismantle their private enterprise activities in order to develop a strong public sector? Or, put another way, Kevin sent me another Krugman diatribe. Here he is decrying the debt limit “crisis.”

Krugman’s rantings are rather formulaic. As he is Keynesian Socialist, you know exactly where he stands on all issues before he even opens his mouth. In fact, I’d say you can make you own Krugman rants by simply mixing and matching the following arguments:

The free market is an unstable system that will tear itself apart without strong government intervention

Depression is the logical result of an unregulated free market, and the private sector could never get out of a depression on it’s own.

Instead, the government must spend money counter cyclically to “stimulate” the economy

Private enterprise harkens back to our more primitive natures when it was a dog-eat-dog and we had to fight each other over scare resources. Bureaucratic action tends to be far superior because it is arrived as through consensus and often developed with the benefit of more enlightened minds like… well, him!

That last point is not really overtly stated as implied. But keep in mind, he’s got an Economic prize issued in Memorial of Alfred Nobel. As I’ve said in a prior post, Mr. Krugman has been the recipient of a funny kind of prize. Suffice it to say that Alfred Nobel never established a Nobel prize for Economics.

At any rate, let’s check Krugman’s latest rant and see how we did here. Hmm, well this one’s about how the terrible Republicans have sabotaged the Democratic process by demanding the government spend less money. With all the Republican bashing, I guess we can safely establish that Krugman is a Democrat. Oh wait, I already said that. See earlier where I said he was a Socialist.

There’s something about Vampire: the Eternal Struggle players and Keynesian Socialism. I was previously unaware of just how deep this ideology was entrenched amongst VTES players until Facebook came around and I started seeing all of their updates. Holy snikees. Every freaking day I’m seeing updates from such left-wing rags like Media Matters, Raw Story, and who the hell knows what else. I can understand the left’s frustration with Fox News, but the answer is not just to spread your own version of historical fiction.

Kevin, who’s consistently my only reader, brought this to my attention off of David Cherryholmes’s Facebook update.
